New Resolutions Chapter 18- After Effects
Harry sat in his bedroom with books spread in front of him. He let his jet black hair fall into his eyes as he stared at the text. It had been four months since Leah had been disappeared, and he felt like hell. He wouldn't eat and couldn't sleep.
He shut the book and threw it against the wall as hard as he could. The room was completely dark except for a candle here and there for writing and reading.
By now he looked a lot like Severus, despite the eyes but those were now the darkest visible green. He was looking a lot like that picture he had gotten from Severus all that time ago. He got up from his seat and headed out of the portrait hole towards the library. That was where he usually spent most of his time if he wasn't with Draco or his father. He hadn't spent much time with Ron or Hermione, but they understood. He ran a hand through his hair as his robes billowed out behind him.
It took everything in him to keep hope for Leah being alive. He loved her more than life itself and still does. He had to hope out for Draco as well.
Things were not the same since she had been gone. It seemed as if everyone's spirits were down cast. Harry didn't realize how many people knew and cared for Leah.
Harry walked down the hall till he found his father's room and he knocked.
"Come in," came Severus' harsh voice. He had gotten ten times worse to people since Leah had disappeared.
Harry walked in and shut the door behind him. "Just me dad."
"Oh, sorry Harry." Severus said as he put a picture down trying to swallow back tears.
"What's that of?" Harry asked indicating the picture.
"Last summer at the Snape Family Manor. That was when I had Leah and Draco over for a weekend." He said and looked at the picture of him and Leah. Leah was in his arms as they sat on the porch.
"I miss her so much Dad. She's the love of my life and I need her so much. She's everything to me. She's my best friend as well was my lover..." he said and sighed running a hand through his hair.
"Do you think I will lose her like you lost mum?" asked a very distraught Harry. He had no clue what to think anymore.
"No, she'll come back and you will be waiting for her as all of us are. But, I have a got a feeling that Lucius has something to do with this and if he does, I swear..." Severus said as he trailed off. "She's a fighter Harry, you aren't going to lose her as I lost Lily. Your mother was strong as well, but her weak spot was you. Just as she and you are mine. Just as Leah is yours-" Severus was about to continue but then something came into his mind.
"Leah is your weak spot. Harry, that is why she is missing. Voldemort found out through your connection with him and Lucius that Leah is what brings you down most and he is using it against you..."
"You really think Voldemort would sink that low?"
"In a heart beat, Harry."
"Well...we need to get her back..."
"I know, but all in due time."
"I don't care about due time! I want her home now! I need her home NOW!" yelled Harry as he got up and left with a slam of the door.
"We want her home too..." whispered Severus after Harry had gone. He understood Harry's anger and wasn't going to do or say anything to him. Hell, Severus himself would have done the same thing.

Leah sat in the little room she had been limited to for the past four months, She wanted to go home and she was so scared, but Draco wasn't there to protect her now. Lucius had beat and burnt her, and raped her once. She felt dirty, used, and ugly but the only thing that was keeping her a live was her love for Harry. That time with him came through her mind and gave her the warmth that kept her from freezing at night. Another memory came into mind. This time, it her and Draco. One time that he had grabbed their father's wrist before he hit her again. Draco forever stood up for her.
FLASHBACK 0-0
"I though I had told you never to speak to me in that tone again. I guess you hadn't learned your lesson the first time then." Lucius said and backhanded her across the face.
She put a hand to her bleeding cheek where his ring had cut her and she just stood there, waiting for the next blow.
He went to strike her again but a firm, strong hand, caught this arm.
"You have nerve boy." Lucius growled at Draco and Draco just sneered back,
"Never hit her again." Draco said firmly.
"If I do?"
"I'll kill you, or worse, tell Uncle Sev."
"How dare you."
"Never hit her again."
"I will do what I please." He said and threw Draco against the wall.
"Thanks to your brother, you get it double." He sneered at Leah and began to hit her again, leaving his unconscious son on the floor.
END OF FLASHBACK 0-0
Draco tried so hard to protect her but it hardly ever worked anymore.
Leah grabbed hold of the necklaces around her neck. One was from Harry, the other from Severus.
FLASHBACK 0-0
Severus smiled as he watched her open the thin, long box and saw the expression on her face.
"Oh, Uncle Sev!" she exclaimed. "It's beautiful!" she said staring down at the silver necklace that had a tear shaped rose colored crystal that got darker as the color reached the center of the stone until it reached pitch black.
"See that there in the middle of the stone Leah?" he asked her softly and she nodded. "There is a drop of my blood and a phoenix tear in the black center. If ever you need me for something and we are far apart, just grip in your hand. I might not be able to come to you but I will feel that you need me in my heart." He said to her and smiled at the thirteen-year-old.
She ran to him and hugged him tight. "Thank you so much Sev. I love you."
END OF FLASHBACK 0-0
She sighed and laid down on the cold, stone floor gripping the stone in her hand and thinking of the three most important man in her life as she feel asleep crying.

Right when she gripped the stone, Severus felt a tug at his heart and he knew she was alive and a new sense of hope flooded though him, and he fell asleep think of her as a tear slipped down his cheek...

A/N---Aw...see Sev does had a heart!!! I have to say thank you to Aurora for this great chapter. She did a great job, didn't she? Well, you know what is next...
Preview Chapter 19- Too Long
Harry walked mindlessly around Leah's bedroom. He missed seeing her lying on the couch or even the warmth her smile would bring to him.
He walked over to the table and knocked everything off of it. Glass broke and things went everywhere. Harry grabbed his arm that has glass sticking out of it his forearm.
"Harry?"
Harry turned around and saw Sirius standing in the doorway. He gave a fake smile and started to pull glass out of his arm.
"Are you okay Harry?" asked Sirius.
"Yeah, whatever."
